Jardin Du Luxembourg

Opening Hours: Mon-Sun: 7:30am (8:15am)-4:30pm (9:30pm) according to season

Sure, this is home to some serious business (the French Senate occupies the adjacent Luxembourg Palace and the formal gardens are some of the city’s prettiest), but this giant park really shines when it comes to occupying little kids. Children can expend copious amounts of energy here, whether it’s by sailing model boats in the fountains, watching shows at the puppet theatre, riding donkeys on the vintage carousel, or working the jungle gym at the large enclosed playground.
